Nice photos. Thanks for the multiple attempts to post them.
I like the lyrics, not wild about the music. I appreciate your spreading the word about the busquer's guild.
Now, any thoughts of the questions I asked above?
Since we are now in the process of trying to form a consensus to oppose the Downtown Ordinances, I'm wondering whether you find them as repugnant as I do. I'd like to see us unified in opposing all these bad laws that criminalize a person's location rather than her/his behavior.
I'm also concerned that street performers retain some solidarity with other broader groups of people where "no sitting" and "no peaceful sparechanging" zones have been expanded to rule out 95% of the sidewalk. Otherwise they will divide us and strip the other group of their rights.
We can't feel good about that.
I know you have been following this controversy a long time. Since you are encouraging people to organize into a guild (which I commend), I think it's only fair to ask you to state publicly how you stand on these issues.
What about them crazy Downtown Ordinances, Mr. Composer?

Give the questions a shot if you can. Thanks.
